Kids Strengthen Their Brains at the Mathnasium Gymnasium

Where do you go strengthen your body? You go to the gym to work-out your muscles. Our bodies thrive when they are used and atrophy when they are not being used. Our brains are no different. The more we “exercise” our brain, the smarter we get. A person’s strength in math, or in weightlifting, has more to do with how often they work out than their natural abilities.

The Reason the Name “Mathnasium” Rhymes with “Gymnasium”

Our center is based on the belief that exercising the brain, like exercising the muscles, produces growth. The research in brain plasticity backs up this belief.

Mathnasium instructors teach math in the same way personal trainers teach fitness techniques. http://www.mathnasium.com/lopatcong/our-team We start with a warm-up to rev up the brain, like a runner stretching and taking a slow pace around the track. After the warm-up, students progress to their lesson tailored to meet their specific needs. This is like the main part of the workout and where most of the improvement happens. If the workout is too hard we scale back the difficulty. If it’s too easy we increase the difficulty a little. Finally the students review their progress again with an instructor. This is like a runner’s cool down period.

Same Place but Different Pace

Go into a gym and you will find people on different paths and different stages of their fitness journey. Some people look muscled. Some people run on the treadmill for an hour. Others are out of shape, weak, or recovering from an injury. Everyone at the gym is there to get some exercise and improve the functioning of their bodies. Come into a Mathnasium and you will discover the same diversity. Some students are as young as 6 and some are in high school. Some are doing math several grade levels above their grade in school and some are doing math several grade levels below. Unlike a gym, it’s harder to tell who is working at what level. They are all there to get some brain exercise and improve their understanding of math. http://www.mathnasium.com/lopatcong/method

As Dr. Wayne Dyer, author and speaker on self-development and spiritual growth stated, “My goal is not to be better than anyone else, but to be better than I used to be.”

Come see how mentally strong your kid can be at Mathnasium!

My son lights up every time he walks through the door. Steve and the staff have a special way of boosting each child's confidence and making learning fun. It's clear that they love what they do. I highly recommend Mathnasium.

My daughters both enjoy going to Mathnasium. The program helps them reinforce and develop their math skills. The staff is very friendly and this is very important because my daughters feel comfortable engaging and asking their questions. I also like the fact they can help them with their math homework from school. My girls are in higher school grades and sorting through their hw is not something I can jump in and help with, so having them as a resource to get them through some of the tougher concepts is wonderful.

My daughter really enjoys going to mathnasium
It’s not like a tutor to her it’s like a study group she enjoys the employees the clients. “It’s fun” she says
She has sharpened some of her skills and her school grades are slowly rising
I am extremely happy with this program

Mathnasium has been nothing but a positive addition to my children's academic success. Steve and all his tutors are highly recommended for their assistance with anything I either need or request, follow up with me from time to time, positive engagement and exciting setting that my kids enjoy from ages 10 to 16, And consistent professionalism. I am constantly referring their services. I am completely satisfied

My daughter, who can be apprehensive in new situations, absolutely loves going to Mathnasium. She regularly asks to attend. So far, she is not stressing about math homework and is more confident in her ability to complete the work. Thank you!

Everyone is eager and willing to help my children. My son's test and quiz scores have greatly improved. He is also more confident with his answers that he gives in class. My daughter received a perfect score on her geometry quiz. We couldn't have been more pleased. She enjoys the interaction with the instructors. They found a way to make learning fun and not stressful. The best part for the kids, they have a chance to earn a prize of their choosing.

Mathnasium was a fantastic experience for my son! He enjoyed going each time, and this gave him such a boost in his math skills and confidence in math! I highly recommend Mathnasium for any student that wants some math help!

So far my girls are enjoying going to this facility. Previously they were reluctant to attend Kumon as the structure was rigid and non-engaging. Here they are getting lots of engagement which translates to help. They are also rewards they appear to enjoy. Once school starts, I hope to see this investment translates to good grades and overall ease and confidence with math.

We were initially worried that our high schooler would be a reluctant participant in improving his math skills. We've found instead that not only is he happy to attend, he uses his time at Mathnasium to the fullest. He loves the incentives and and truly enjoys the employees.

I just want to thank you for the wonderful experience Jake is having you are taking a pretty tough subject and making it fun. Jake actually volunteers to go!! Hoping that this quarter will reap the rewards of his hard work. Steve, you have made an amazing environment for the kids to learn wish there was other subject he could go for!! Thank you again!

My daughter hated Math and every day I could see her self confidence disappearing when her grades kept dropping. Thankfully a friend referred me to Mathnasium. It was the best decision we have ever made for her! My daughter not only LOVES Math now, she enjoys tutoring her younger brothers. Since she is now homeschooled, she also enjoys meeting other kids that have similar struggles as they work towards accomplishing their goal together. When I think of Mathnasium only one word comes to mind... SUCCESS

My daughter has really come a long way in just under two months at Mathnasium. She no longer dreads going to school and math homework doesn't take as long. Looking forward to her continued improvement.

Mathnasium has helped my daughter improve her math proficiency in less than 30 days. She has also regained her confidence to be ready for any math challenges that come next. I am truly thankful for Steve and the Mathnasium staff for making math fun again! A+

Mathnasium is NOT just a tutor for your kids. It's a Very enthusiastic and creative way for kids of all ages to learn more about math skills. Math skills they may have missed at school, skills they didn't understand in the first place and skills they haven't learned yet, due to the grade they are in. (This can move them forward at a normal pace of learning).
Your child will learn over and beyond and it is always fun! The staff at Mathnasium are qualified and have lots of fun teaching the students. Steve, the owner, has a passion to what he is doing and enjoys it to the fullest. We are so happy with the progress our son is making. He has raised his grade in CP Algebra. He gets how to do his math but other times you may need a "why" and then that makes every problem or the numbers that go with it, all worth the while because you know why you got to the answer you did. Instead of "just going through the process" of doing it. Math CAN be fun! Try it, your kids will definitely like it here. We are so happy you opened in Lopatcong!
